AL-38000 model towers are suited for light duty applications with an operating load of up to 150 lbs (68 kg). This series is available with either a manual or motorized linear offset slide. Manual slides can be hand-pushed or hand-wheeled. The mast (vertical or inclined) is available in fiberglass or aluminum construction.

DC, RF and Optical Probe Positioning for Highest Accuracy Measurements

FormFactor offers a wide variety of manual and motorized probe positioners for any application from DC to terahertz measurements and beyond.

The MVG-Orbit/FR Legacy Series AZ/EL/AZ Positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity. Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio. These positioners support vertical loads up to 50,000 lbs (20,680 kg).

The MVG-Orbit/FR performance series has recently been expanded to include the AL-428X series of medium-duty, two axes positioners. Thanks to their low profile design and advanced drive mechanism, these symmetrical EL/AZ positioners ensure accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity. 

Their rugged and straightforward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight / performance ratio. This series includes a counter weight option which improves overall system stability and accuracy while allowing for higher DUT loads.

Typically, the unit includes the main body, precise slew bearings, DC motors, gear reducers, encoder and limit switch assemblies. The antenna interface mounting plate surface is designed with a threaded mounting hole pattern for ease of use. A large variety of options is available for this ORBIT/FR standard product family. See the Options pages in the Positioners Overview or on the website for slip rings, rotary joints, high precision encoders, speed options and more.

MVG Series heavy duty AZ/EL positioners provide accurate rotation, velocity, and direction and offer turntable diameters up to 74 in (1880 mm). Rugged yet simple construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation.

The MVG-Orbit/FR Legacy Series Polarization Positioners provide accurate, balanced rotation, and controllable velocity for the positioning of very large devices in test configurations. Their rugged yet straight-forward construction ensures maximum reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best size and weight/performance ratio.

The AL-9504-2 Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Unit provides a central connection point for external emergency stop panic buttons and positioner controllers that are located throughout the system. In the event of an emergency stop, the AL-9504-2 will command the appropriate positioner controller to disconnect motor drive power on all axes.
